Nobody remembers pfsense 3?

...they are too young :-D

Completely different install of OPNsense (all latest), same effect: Switched the MAC for a reserved IP in DHCP and no traffic outside interface flowing, shown as down, although the lease is successful.

Reproducible here, but most likely nobody cares, as "ISC (legacy)"...

Posting here just for thos desperately looking for a solution. As I did yesterday.

Feature request: Port OPNsense to windows 11...



Just kidding.... :-D

Can confirm problem and solution. Switched the MAC for a static DHCP client (have static ARP on that interface enabled btw). IP is handed out, traffic on same interface going back and forth, but no DNS, and no other traffic outside the same interface going back and forth. Client not showing up in ARP table and listed as status "offline" in DHCP leases.

Took me some hours to find this here and a reboot of OPNsense resolved the problem immediately. Strange, very strange.

Mal den Zugriff mit der IP des WG-Netzwerks probiert? FW-Regeln nicht vergessen...

climate conditions at the attic are rather rough, so maybe better outdoor fiber?

Does anybody need a "Wichmann Kabelbox", see the .pdf you linked...

Hm, but if I place fiber cable throughout the house, then the ONT is in my office. The connection from "Hausanschluss" to fiber inside the house is passive, I guess?

Minimal radius for fiber: According to your link: It depends! (WOW!) So only Telekom technician (or underpaid Romanian subcontractor?) knows, which fiber is currently at hand at the time of cabeling. Bit of a black box...

2 questions open at that time:

- Does the "Hausanschluss" need an electric wall outlet as well? Or is it passive and only the ONT has a plug?

- What is the smalest radius you can bend the fiber to in a corner? 1-2 cm? 5 cm?

Same same, doesn't matter if I route fiber or RJ45 throughout the house/attic. Except when using "your" modems for old telephone copper shoe laces, with approx. 250-300 € investment.

***sigh***

Will have to think through, what is the most stable, sustainable way to go... But that'S why we are here, to find the options and there pros and cons.

What's next?

Next you hope you're the only one subscribing, it's a shared medium. 😉

..as it's with my VDSL from Telekom in the same building right now anyways. I need the bandwidth mostly at daytime, when it get's croweded in there I'm gone.

I would need a least 2 holes in the 25cm massive ferroconcrete ceiling plate (1970's bunker...), as the way across the attic is shortest and no open conduit throughout the building. No fun!

Does the "Hausanschluss" need an electric wall outlet as well? Or is it passive and only the ONT has a plug?

Seriously? I have to lay down the Leerrohre? And drill the holes in the wall in the end?

Latest developments:

Adoption rate appears to be very, very lousy, so DT decided to have a propaganda stand in some public place arround here to get more subscribers. In the flyer they promise 20m of free (as in unpaid) fiber installation inside the building.

What's next?

I reset my PPPoE every night on purpose, get a fresh IP. Why are people so upset by Zwangstrennung? DynDNS is up again in seconds, no problem.

RE: Netzbremse. That explains that, I mostly do my webbrowsing from outside Telekom. Don't ask for details :-D

mildly OT, but...: After opening the wall box depicted above and moving the cables, my DSL went down. I cut the connection (just twisted some 10 times! no soldering!) and reconnected the ends and DSL came back.

checked the remaining cable residues with Ohm-meter, both apparently intact, so no idea what broke my DSL

can the connection be soldered? or is twisting the free ends standard? ***glotz***
